Modal Window showing the dropdown of parent window

I have a jsp where I have various dropdowns,radio buttons,text fields etc. For a particular dropdown's onchange event I'm exposing a div element containing various elements(dropdowns,radio buttons,text fields ). When the modal window is being shown Im basically graying out the parent window .The issue is when the modal window is being shown the dropdowns of the parent window still shows up on modal window.All the other elements hide except for the dropdowns.

Can some one please let me know why the dropdown of the parent window shows on the modal window when the other elemnts don't show

P.S. Tell your powers that be that IE6 is deprecated and even Microsoft no longer supports it. Time to move on...

Hide the dropdowns while the "modal dialog" is displayed.

Use an iframe to contain the body of the "dialog".

I actually used the 1st approach and it worked.But i do see some slowness in the rendering of the dropdowns.So was wondering if there was another solution.
I could try the second suggestion.So do i out the entrire modal window div inside an iframe or how does it work.If you could give me some reference links that would be great too.
Thanks for your help.
